Definition
As a business model, it is founded upon three core pillars which are aimed at mitigating risks and maximizing returns on investment in rental properties. These pillars are Rental-Readiness, Operational Efficiency, and Income Sustainability.

==== Rental-Ready ==== Rentvestment properties are designed to be ready for lease from the point of turnover. To minimize vacancy periods and optimizing revenue potential, these properties are delivered fully furnished and equipped with top-quality amenities.

==== Operational Efficiency ==== Rentvestment properties are optimized for seamless rental business operations. This includes leveraging the use of smart home tecnhologies, such as digital smart locksets to manage access, or online apps for property management or guest management.

==== Income Sustainability ==== Income sustainability is a cornerstone of the rentvestment business model. By targeting locations with stable rental demand, rentvestment properties ensure a steady flow of tenants. This approach also offers multiple income streams, including rental earnings and property value appreciation over time. By mitigating risks and ensuring consistent cash flow, rentvestment properties provide a reliable source of passive income for investors.

As Residential
Various types of residential properties can be utilized for rentvestment. These are designed to cater to different demographics and lifestyles, offering diverse amenities and living experiences.

Rental Spaces
Residential rental spaces are properties acquired with the intention of leasing the space to tentants for living purposes. These properties can be leased to either long-term residents seeking stable housing solutions or short-term tenants looking for temporary accommodation. This versatility also allows investors to capitalize on various rental market demands, whether focusing on steady and reliable long-term leases or catering to the needs of transient renters.

Co-living Spaces

Co-living spaces are rental properties designed to offer convenient and reasonably priced accommodations in a shared environment. These spaces are often located in busy urban areas and feature pre-furnished rooms, as well as communal amenities. These shared spaces may include kitchens, bathrooms, gyms, and dedicated work or study areas. Co-living spaces typically appeal to individuals such as students, young professionals, or digital nomads due to their affordability, community-oriented living, and flexibility.

Vacation Homes
Vacation homes are property investments which owners purchase for temporary recreational use. Typically, these feature amennities for leisure or relaxation and are located in popular tourist destinations or near areas offering various recreational activities. When not in use by the owner, vacation homes can be leased to leisure or business travelers to generate income.

In the Hospitality Industry
Rentvestment properties are also available for those looking to generate income from the hospitality market. These types of rentvestment developments combine the comfort of residential living with the amenities typically found in hotels, catering to the needs of various types of travelers.

Serviced Residences
Similar to a typical residential property, serviced residences offer a home-like environment with the added benefit of hotel-like services, such as room service, housekeeping, or a 24-hour concierge. Suited for both long- and short-term stays, Serviced Residences provide both privacy and convenience, making them an appealing choice for business and leisure travelers alike.
